Label: Andrea Tippel Selbstverlag

Andrea Tippel started “ICH UND SIE ein Roman aus dreibuchstabigen Wörtern” [“I AND YOU a novel of three-letter words”] in the summer of 1993 and finished the novel on August 20, 2009. The sketchbook version of the novel comprises 123 pages, and of these 97 pages were finished already in 1993. Another four pages were composed in 1995, 15 pages in March 1999, and seven further pages between 2007 and 2009. Andrea Tippel takes leave in the last pages of her recently deceased friends, among these Tomas Schmit, Ludwig Gosewitz, and Emmett Williams.
The novel appeared in various printed and recorded versions: just like a work in progress, Andrea Tippel also performed the novel in sections between 1994 and 2009. This explains why the audio file is composed of different recordings. In 2009, Tippel repeated her reading of texts written since 1999. As a result, not only the recording techniques are different, but also the way in which they are read. Natural background noises like moving a chair, smoking or turning pages, just like tape stop noises, are part of the recording and were retained by Tippel.
Limited edition of 60 copies (15 w/ a signed book). A new & improved 2CD reissue of this work is planned on Tochnit Aleph in 2019.
